No matter what time of year you’ll be taking your honeymoon, or how many second honeymoons you’ve taken, the main idea for the honeymoon is to spend time together as a couple. Sometimes honeymoons are taken just after the wedding ceremony while others are taken to mend relationships, rekindle a flame or just for the need to get away for a while.
Whatever the reason behind your honeymoon vacation, train tours just might be a good place to start. It is also an affordable honeymoon idea that can be revisited year after year for an anniversary. Keep in mind that just because it is a train tour, don’t think you’ll only be on the train. You’ll also spend lots of time off the rails enjoying many other activities together. Below are several different honeymoon getaway ideas to choose from:
